How to use this podcast

Hi. I’m Henrik, and this podcast is here to help you fall asleep.

I talk about almost anything here. Small observations. Big thoughts. Memories. Side tracks. Jokes. Things that don’t lead anywhere. Sometimes it’s calm. Sometimes it’s strange. Sometimes it’s engaging, even entertaining, and sometimes... well sometimes it's just ... meh. All of that belongs here.

You can listen while falling asleep, but you can also just listen. If you get curious, involved, amused, or pulled along by a thought, that’s fine. If you get bored or just feel indifferent about the whole thing, that's also fine. It's part of the method.

My view on sleep is simple: fighting wakefulness usually makes it stronger. Letting things be as they are often softens them.

You don’t have to try to sleep. You don’t have to try to follow either. Let your attention do whatever it wants. Drift in and out. Stay awake. Fall asleep. Wake up again.

I don’t use a script. I speak freely, and I let the episode become whatever it becomes. The words matter sometimes. The rhythm matters other times. Nothing needs to resolve.

Use new episodes or the same one every night. Stop halfway. Skip around. There’s no correct way to listen.

Things are allowed to be what they are.

That includes you.

Sleep tight.

/Henrik

From there, my mind wanders to kindergarten, clay birds with bright feathers, fur coats in...

The Butterfly Orchestra Was Too Loud

In this episode, Sleepy, we wander into the strange workshop of theatre itself. The table readings, the shoes, the frightened directors, the actors holding scripts like shields, the sacred line about saddling the king’s horses. I remember rehearsal rooms, wild-horse masculinity, Shakespeare chairs t...

Purring Through the Apocalypse

Hi Sleepy. Tonight we begin in the usual humble abode, that small studio in the backyard where the past still keeps some furniture, and we drift from sticky thoughts to electric shocks, from the mystery of knowledge forming in the brain to Flingan the tick-covered philosopher cat. There is a warehou...
